Don't get me wrong this is one of the best games in the series (#2nd or 3rd best Zelda for sure!) but there is one thing that bugs me till this very day.
Even from my first run through of the game i was disappointed with the concept of collecting pieces of light for your vessel of light to restore the spirit of lights essence to that area. WHAT A MOUTH FULL!!
I mean there are just too many things about this plot development that take away from the overall game play of TP!
First You search through the entire area for these bugs leaving little of the next village/field/town unturned, this decreases the overall exploration of the area when you become human again. Also as a wolf your not doing a lot other than running around.
This process happens three times in the game and covers a lot of territory, every time I play this game anew I begin to see why it is so awesome. discovering that with each play it becomes more enjoyable just like OoT and MM.
But when half of the game gets shown to you via shadow bugs that are annoying and pointless that show up on your map it takes away i think from the game itself. By this I mean that the light spirit shows all the locations on your map and you just run towards them and kill them. If the locations weren't shown everything would be fine. you would have too spend more time hunting each one down (although that would be pretty tough).
If I could have changed any part of this game I would have, it would be the vessel of light quests, and this is what i would change it too.
Instead of the twilight covering all of Hyrule Link could go too Kakariko Village, Hyrule Town, and Some of Faron woods. The rest of the three provinces would be covered. Also Instead of transforming right away Link would stay human for a time. Here he would talk to the people in these locations and through trading sequences and interacting the twilight would overtake the area finally. At which time Link would transform and then collect the pieces of light.
This would have allowed for a slower progression in the storyline as well as more unique events instead of the same old bug thingy every time.
